A proposed class-action lawsuit filed in San Diego Superior Court claims Sharp HealthCare secretly recorded doctor-patient conversations using an artificial intelligence tool --- and falsely documented that patients had given consent.

Sharp began using an AI app called Abridge in April of this year, according to the complaint. The tool records conversations between patients and clinicians and then generates draft medical notes. According to the lawsuit, the app captured everything said inside the exam room --- including symptoms, diagnoses and personal details --- and sent the audio to the co

Because literary journals tend to have small circulations, few readers are likely to have come across "The Whistleblower," a short story by the Zimbabwean writer Simbarashe Steyn Kundizeza. Published in 2021 in a journal called Transition, the story is a taut and closely observed political thriller in miniature. Its narrator, a sharp but inexperienced computer-science graduate in Harare, Zimbabwe, encounters an intelligence officer at the mall---a former teacher of his---who now wants something from him. At first, the graduate is ne
